The correct answer is: vital capacity
Vital capacity is the amount of air which one can inhale and exhale with maximum effort. It is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume.
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{VC} & =\mathrm{TV}+\mathrm{IRV}+\mathrm{ERV} \\ & =500+3100+1200 \\ & =4800 \mathrm{~mL}\end{aligned}$
